"It's his choice, I wish him the best although, as I said before, I would have liked him to play at Real Madrid."

He continued to Movistar+: "I prefer not to talk. I'm not angry, I can just tell you that I'm focused on the Champions League final [against Liverpool on Saturday] which is more important than listening to anything else.

"Now is not the time to talk about these little things."
